Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in

death or severe personal injury

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in

minor personal injury or property damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you

how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury

or death; follow information in this manual exactly

to prevent a ﬁ re or explosion.

WARNING

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other

ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any appliance.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other ﬂ ammable vapors and

materials.

• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

• NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite ﬂ ammable items and may increase pressure in

closed containers which may cause them to burst.

• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly ﬂ ammable. Avoid their use or

storage near an appliance.

• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO

NOT leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface element.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour

spirits over hot foods.

Getting Started

Cooking Safety

• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

element. Make sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before removing pan.

• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying.

Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high

heat for extended cooking operations.

• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in

serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

• Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER

be used as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

• DO NOT let cooking grease or other ﬂ ammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood, or vent fan. Clean

hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or ﬁ lter. When ﬂ aming foods under the hood, turn the fan

off.

• NEVER wear garments made of ﬂ ammable material or loose ﬁ tting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may

ignite or catch on cookware handles.

• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover

distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be

contaminated.

• If you are “ﬂ aming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the ﬂ ames to

spread out of control.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Use pans with ﬂ at bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped

or loose-handled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans) could be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy

to move when ﬁ lled with food may also be hazardous.

• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep

fat frying. Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

• To minimize burns, ignition of ﬂ ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT

extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the

room where they are easily hit or reached by children.

• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the cookware and the appliance.

• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories

that are not speciﬁ cally recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units. The use of devices

or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance

problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

• Use proper pan material. Refer to “Before Using Cooktop” section for recommended cookware. Proper relationship of

cookware to surface unit will also improve efﬁ ciency.

Electric Cooktop Cooking Utensil Guidelines

WARNING

Stationary appliances not ﬁ tted with means for disconnection from the

supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full

disconnection under overvoltage category III, the insrtuctions shall

state that means for disconnection must be incorporated in the ﬁ xed

wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have

remained from the manufacturing process. Clean your glass top before the ﬁ rst time you use it. A thorough cleaning with

a glass top cleaner is recommended.

Cooking Utensils

Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking

utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from

excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Getting Started

Before Using Cooktop

Induction Cookware

Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware,

instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat source. The heat stops when the cookware

is removed. Your cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel for your induction cooktop to

operate properly. The cookware should have a ﬂ at, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides

with a diameter of 5” (13 cm) to 12” (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized elements. The

induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom

to provide maximum performance and convenience.

All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are most other high-end brands of stainless steel

and enamel cookware. Most induction cookware will be suitable for your induction cooktop if a

magnet adheres to the bottom surface.

• Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum,

copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed base.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights

The cooktop has hot surface indicator lights. They are located to the bottom left of each burner.

The hot surface indicator light will glow red when the corresponding element is turned on. The

light will remain on until the corresponding element has cooled to a safe temperature.

Surface Cooking Tips

• The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but

not recommended.

• Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller

elements and larger cookware should be used for larger elements.

Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise,

causing the cooktop to turn off.

DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The

cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very

quickly, resulting in possible damage to the cookware and

ceramic glass.

CAUTION

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should

not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

CAUTION

After use, switch off the element by its control and do not

rely on the pan detector.

WARNING

Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and may

result in ﬁ re. NEVER try to extinguish a ﬁ re with water, but

switch off the appliance and then cover ﬂ ame e.g. with a lid or

a ﬁ re blanket.

CAUTION

Induction Cooking Power

The Induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and 4 or 6 cooking zones based on the model. Each generator powers 2

cooking zones. If using more than one cooking zone on high power on the same generator, the maximum cooking power

may be reduced. For best performance results, start cooking on only one zone per shared generator. Once it has reached

cooking termperature, start cooking on the second cooking zone.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no

exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean. Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.

Glass Ceramic Top

Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain ﬁ nish. To maintain and protect the surface of

your new glass ceramic top, follow these basic steps:

For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing

scratches and abrasions.

For heavy, burned soil:

1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30º angle against the ceramic surface.

3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire

surface with the cleaning cream.

4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating

helps to prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier.

Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore, make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to

staining.

Cooktop Surfaces

Several different ﬁ nishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE

AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS,

OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.

Control Panel

DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives or stainless steel cleaners on any surface that contains

graphics. These products could remove the graphics from the control panel. Apply hot, soapy water to a soft clean cloth.

DO NOT spray liquids directly onto the control panel.

Control Knobs

MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off.

Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing ﬁ rmly onto stem.

Stainless Steel Parts

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with

a liquid cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths,

cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to

loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal

tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will

permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
